%X The capabilities of a single fluid gasdynamic model of solar wind-comet exosphere interaction, presented in the accompanying (Keremidarska et al.) [23], are discussed from the point of view of its potential implementation in interpreting data, expected to be obtained by ROSETTA mission instruments in plasma environments of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. As an exapmle, some model's predictions of the structure and parameters' distribution in the inner coma of P/Halley are presented and compared with Giotto measurements. Special attention is paid to a possible non-traditional interpretation of the magnetic cavity boundasry, registered by Giotto magnetometer. Possible model's applications are discussed for each of the main expected stages in the evolution of the comet 76P/CG environments during ROSETTA rendezvous with the comet.
